Chapter 11: Hot Coals (Part 1)

Jak looked around at the wasteland city taking in every detail he could. It amazed him, the place was completely covered in desert sand, yet it was right next to the ocean, and off in the distance he could see a forest.

He soon found himself walking up a metal platform and under an overhang carved out of stone.

"Well, if it isn't the newbies." A heavyset man said coming into view in front of them.

"Are you talking to me?" Jak asked gruffly.

"YEAH!" Daxter pitched in, "You talking to…..! Him?" he finished pointing a thumb towards Jak.

The man chuckled, "Around here everyone pulls their own weight. And it's time you boys started to do so."

By now Jak had started to walk away.

"Besides, if you do a good job you might find yourself with a few new gun upgrades."

"I'm listening." Jak said turning back to the man and folding his arms across his chest.

"I thought so…" He said chuckling, "You see that jungle out there? There are some old Precursor ruins in the heart of that place, the Commander is out there now and could use some assistance moving an old artifact. That is if you boys are up for it."

Jak grinned, "You bet."

The man chuckled again "There's a Land Rover over there you can use." He said gesturing to his left towards a large 4-wheeled vehicle. "Good luck… You're going to need it"

Jak then proceeded to jump into the vehicle and drive off leaving a cloud of dust in his wake.

Later

"There's no way we'll be able to get through there in this thing." Jak declared aloud eyeing the thick greenery that covered their entrance to the forest.

"Isn't that convenient?" Daxter replied sarcastically heaving a sigh.

Jak smirked and began to work his way into the forest.

"So… Ah… How are we supposta find the "Commander" in this "Vegetarians Paradise"?"

"I guess we can just follow the metal heads." Jak said stopping his eye wide looking at the mass carnage of slaughtered metal heads that seemed to form a path.

"The what?" Daxter asked peering over Jak's shoulder "Ewwwwwwwww… Metal head guts… Bleh. Remind me not to get on her bad side." He finished referring to Talon.

"Let's just hope she did this and not something else." Jak replied as he began to follow the black-blood stained path.


That was a really short chapter... lol.
